This piece is baseless. There are no references and citations. For a thoughtful and insightful response, see this piece by Gary Stager, who happens to be an educational technology expert, which Carlsonnn-Paige is not: http://stager.tv/blog/?p=2893

Thanks for sharing Gary's rebuttal. I didn't agree with Carlsson-Paige's piece either, but it's important for those of us in the field to hear what is being said, so we can answer it intelligently (as Gary has done very well!)
